...or in my case, hold the mayo - I hate mayonaisse.But I digress..hello!

Haven't been on in awhile. Getting back from Asheville and dropping that dialect took some time. Getting my So Cal bearings again and back to work. Had a great time at the Convocation. Apprecation to my colleagues and particularly, the UCORS cabinet and Rev. Barbara and Dr. John Waterhouse for the hospitality.

Since it is a blog whereby I have some license to rant a bit may I just use this as a soapbox briefly? I have no patience for Phone Spam. It was bad enough with telemarketers invading our phone lines, but now there are electronic phone calls interrupting our lives with a sales pitch or political lobby or whatever. Argh.

As a very young girl, I often dreamed of a way that I could somehow publish and share my feelings and creative ideas. Short of saving up enough money to take out a full-page ad in the NY Times, I did the best I could with telling my story or the occasional burst of poetic overflow to those near and dear to me.
